Nintendo Download – July 26, 2012

Today’s Thursday, so that means it’s time for Nintendo Download! 3DS gets lots of love thanks to 8-bit Summer still going on. The Wii Virtual Console expands by one with WORLD HEROES PERFECT. Also note that there are TWO sales going on. We have the beginning of the Month of Mario where four different Mario games will be on sale for an entire week leading up to the release of New Super Mario Brothers 2 for 3DS. The first Month of Mario title is the NES classic, Super Mario Brothers. It was originally a 3DS Ambassador exclusive, but it has been updated to include save states, local multiplayer and is now on sale!

The other sale is the Game of the Weekend, which lasts during the normal time frame as previous weekends. This weekend title is Colors 3D! We wrote a review for it if you want to check it out: http://www.wiinintendo.net/2012/04/10/review-colors-3d/. Speaking of reviews, NintendoFuse will be reviewing Planet Crashers, so check back soon we will post our thoughts and opinions on it.

There’s a large variety of titles with unique first person Pac-man like game with Dot Runner: Complete Edition. There’s a platforming/action game with Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, an RPG with Planet Crashers, Mole Mania is an action/puzzle game, and even a racing/sports game Decathlon 2012. Finally, there’s a fighting game with WORLD HEROES PERFECT on Wii. Quite a variety in this week’s release so there should be something for everyone.
